 Answers

1. Answer: d

Explanation:

As propounded by J.P. Guilford learning is a process that refers to a change in

behaviour and knowledge as a result of practice and experience.

Key Points

Learning can be defined as a permanent change in behaviour produced by

experience.
Changes that occur due to practice and experience are relatively permanent
and are a component of learning.
Learning is inferred as a process of continuous psychological events.
It is different from performance and temporary behavioural changes.
Learning is a continuous process. From childhood every human being tries to
change his/her behaviour, thinking, attitude, interest, etc. continuously to fit
himself/herself into the ever-changing conditions of life.
Learning is goal-directed. Every human being aspires to achieve some goals in
his/her life. These goals may be achieved through learning. If there is no goal to
achieve, then there would be no necessity for learning.

Hence we conclude that option 4 is the correct answer.

2. Answer: b

Explanation:

Cognitive Development involves cognitive processes such as knowing, thinking,

remembering, recognizing, categorizing, imagining, reasoning, decision-making, and
so forth.
 According to Piaget, children’s understanding of the world expands as they
experience new ideas and challenges. Children construct their own knowledge
through interaction with their surroundings. Cognitive development proceeds as
children mature.
Piaget divided cognitive development into four stages.
The Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years)
The Pre-Operational Stage (2-7 years)
The Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years)
The Formal Operational Stage (11 years and above)

Key Points

The Pre-Operational Stage:

This is the second stage of cognitive development which is basically a pre-

logical stage as logic has not yet fully developed. It extends from two to seven
years of age.
We saw that towards the end of the second year, the child becomes capable of
representing experiences mentally without interacting with them directly or
physically. Also that the child begins to understand that symbols represent
certain aspects of reality.
At this age, the child exhibits symbolic representation which means the ability
to deal with symbols. Although the child is able to think about symbols still he
lacks reversibility.
According to Piaget, the capacity to store mental images or symbols of objects
and experiences is known as representational ability that emerges when the
child is about 22-24 months old.
It is a unified capacity that enables the child to represent an object or an event
that is not present (a signified) by means of another object that is present (a
signifier).
The child during this stage engages in what is called a symbolic play that is, the
wooden box is considered as a car, a rounding, the steering wheel and the stick,
a gun. A child pretends to ride a broomstick to represent riding a horse.

Thus, it is concluded that a ccording to Piaget, representational abilityterm is used

for the capacity to store mental images or symbols of objects and experiences.
3. Answer: c

Explanation:

Assessment of personality refers to the measurement of the personal characteristics

of an individual. Assessment is an end result of gathering information.

Key Points

Projective technique:

A Projective test is a personality test designed to yield information about

someone's personality on the basis of their unrestricted response to ambiguous
objects or situations.
Projective techniques are a set of instruments whose main objective is to
describe and characterized personality.
There are three methods of assessing personality:
Standardized Test/ Objective test
Non-Standar dized Test/ Subjective test
Projective methods

Some examples of Standardized tests, Non-standardized test,s and projective tests:

Standardized Test Non-Standardized Test Projective Test of Personality

Achievement test Anecdotal records BG test

Aptitude test Autobiography Graphology

Intelligence test Case study Children Apperception test

Interest test Interview Mosaic test

Personal inventories Score Card Clay modeling

Hence, we can conclude that the aptitude Test doesn't belong to the Projective
Techniques of methods of assessing personality.
4. Answer: b

Explanation:

Vygotsky emphasized that learners begin learning from their surroundings, from
people around them, and their social world. He believed that our social world is the
source of all concepts, ideas, facts, skills, and attitudes. All personal psychological
processes begin as social processes shared among people.

Key Points

Core concepts are given by Vygotsky

More Knowledgeable Others (MKO): He defined intelligence as “the capacity to

learn from instruction”. According to him, these are those people, who are more
knowledgeable and have better expertise in a particular domain. These MKO
can help in improving the skill of the children. MKO need not be a person in all
instances. Sometimes, MKO can be computers also.
Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): It is the key feature of Vygotsky’s theory.
The concept of MKO is closely related to ZPD. According to Vygotsky, ZPD is the
difference between the present level of development attained without anyone’s
assistance and the potential level of development that can be attained under
the guidance of MKO. However, the level of provided knowledge should be
appropriate according to the child’s comprehensive ability.
Scaffolding: Scaffolding is a temporary structure, made up of wooden planks
and metal poles, to support the workmen in constructing, maintaining, and
repairing a building. Vygotsky used this term to describe social and instructional
support provided by MKO to students to learn new concepts and skills. Once the
skill is learned by the student, the instructional support is withdrawn, just like
scaffolding after completing the construction.

Hence, we can conclude that the Proximal distance zone and scaffolding are some of
the major processes of child development given by Vygotsky.
5. Answer: c

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud, a physician by profession, was the major contributor of the

psychoanalytic theory of personality. He developed his theory while doing clinical
practice with patients. “Unconscious mental processes” is central to his theory. It
refers to those desires, needs, and motivations for which we are not aware.

Key Points

Freud proposed that our personality consists of three elements namely, id, ego, and
superego.

Id: This part of personality operates unconsciously. It deals with basic instincts,
biological needs, and aggressive impulses. The aim of id is to gratify one’s need
immediately without considering the moral values of the society and the
individual.
Ego: The part of the personality responsible for the reality check is known as the
ego. The ego works on the reality principle, delaying id’s gratification until an
appropriate and more realistic situation is not found. This part of personality
emerges from id and its main objective is to strike a balance between id’s
impulsive needs and the reality of this world.
Superego: It is the moral master or moral guru of our personality. It controls the
impulsive urges of the id and pursues the ego to choose morally appropriate
behavior instead of only realistic behavior.

Hence, we can conclude that the stages of personality development that Freud has
named as centers for energy, are Id, Ego, and Superego.

6. Answer: a

Explanation:
 Educational psychology is the application of psychological findings in the field of
education.

Key Points

Educational Psychology is the systematic study of the development of the

individual within the educational setting.
It implies scientific methods to study different phenomena.
It establishes principles and laws of learning.
It helps the teacher foster the student's harmonious overall development by
referring to developmental studies and learning theories.
It also obtains its subject matter from biology, sociology, etc.

Hence we conclude that educational psychology is not a pure science like physics
and mathematics. So, all the options except 1 are correct.

Additional Information

Educational psychology must also include the study of problems of teaching

and learning, besides the learning process.
The science most basic to education is psychology.
The teacher needs psychology to bridge the lives of the young and the aims of
education.
To be a successful teacher one also need to understand the learners, just as to
be a successful nurse you are required to have professional knowledge and skill
as well as knowledge about the nature of the patient.

7. Answer: a

Explanation:

Freud proposed five stages of psychosexual development: the oral stage, the anal
stage, the phallic stage, the latency stage, and the genital stage. Each stage has
unique conflicts, and how these conflicts are resolved and the child develops and
grows up and passes to the next stage of development determines what types of
personality the child would have.
 Key Points

Freud spoke of the dormancy period in the theory of sexual development.

Freud spoke of dormancy in the latency stage of his psychosexual development
theory.
Freud described the latency stage as one of relative stability.
In this stage, no new organization of sexuality develops, and he did not pay
much attention to it.
The period of latency stage is 7-10 years.

Hence, we can conclude that Freud spoke of the dormancy period in the theory of
sexual development.

Additional Information

Piaget's theory describes the cognitive development of children.

Erickson's theory describes the psychosocial development of a child.
Vygotsky describes the sociocultural development of a child.

8. Answer: b

Explanation:

Forgetting is a failure to retrieve information from long-term memory stores. Much of

the information is lost but enough remains so that we have a sketchy record of our
lives. Sometimes what we think is forgotten in the real sense is not forgotten because
it was never encoded and stored in the first place.

Key Points

Forgetting occurs due to interference with other memories or other learnt

material.
If you do not use your stored information at a regular interval of time, then you
may be at the risk of losing it because rehearsal or practice was not sufficiently
elaborate.
Forgetting can also occur due to the absence of an appropriate cue or the
presence of poor cue.
Thus, it is concluded that when the memory traces in the individual’s brain gets
distorted the result is forgetting.
9. Answer: a

Explanation:

Any activity that the child finds enjoyable is play. Play activities provide satisfaction
to children. When a child jumps from a step and climbs back to jump again, s/he is
 doing it simply became s/he is enjoying it, not to show his/her skills to get praise or to
win a prize.

At the same time, the child is developing physical and motor skills though this may
not have been the child's goal. There are five theories of play:-

Cathartic Theory
Re-creative Theory
Anticipatory Theory
Recapitulation Theory
Surplus Energy Theory

Anticipatory theory of play: This theory is also known as PRACTICE THEORY was
propounded by Karl Groos in his two works ‘The Play of Animals’ and ‘The Play of Man’.

Key Points

Play of animals: Puppies quarrel in a playful way because dogs have to fight.
Kittens run after moving objects, as they have to catch mice.
Play of man: Children play different roles as a rehearsal for the future. The child
anticipates his future activities and prepares himself to meet the problems in
anticipation.

Thus, it is concluded that Karl Groos was the propounder of the Anticipatory theory of
play.

Additional Information

McDougall's theory of social psychology proposed that inborn instincts are the
cause of social behavior. In his views, tendencies of imitation and suggestion
are rooted in their biological nature.
G. Stanley Hall, a pioneer in the study of children and their learning processes, is
credited with giving adolescence its first full definition in his text.

10. Answer: c

Explanation:
 Development means " a progressive series of changes that occur in an orderly
predictable pattern as a result of maturation and experience." The following are the
stages of development:

Infancy - This period extends from birth to 18 months.

Early childhood - This period extends from 18 moth to 3 years.
Middle childhood - This period extends from 3 to 5 years.
Late childhood - This period extends from 5 to 12 years.
Adolescence - This period extends from 12 to 20 years.
Early adulthood - This period extends from 20 to 30 years.
Mature adulthood - This period extends from 30 to 65 years.
Old age- This period extends from 65 years to death.

Key Points

Characteristics of adolescence -

A transitional stage
Peak intelligence and stamina
Confused about identity
Never accept without interrogation
Love liberty
Try to seek attention by any means
Emotional instability
Lack of self control
Increased decision making
The search for self
Undefined status
Transitional stage

Hence, we conclude that Adolescence possess realistic aspirations is not true with
reference to Adolescence stage.

11. Answer: c

Explanation:
 The intelligence test is a series of tasks designed to measure a variety of cognitive
aspects such as individual differences, mental retardedness, educational
backwardness, and learning disability. It gives a broader view of human's cognitive
diversity and intellectual skills.

Key Points

The first intelligence test which is known as ' The Binet-Simon Scale' was developed
by Binet and Simon.

Let's Understand in Brief:

In 1904, the French Government appointed Alfred Binet to develop a measure

to identify children with notably below-average intelligence for their age, so that
special education can be given to them.
With this objective, in 1905 Binet with the help of Theodore Simon developed
the first intelligence test, which is popularly known as the first Binet-Simon scale.
This scale consisted of 30 problems measuring a variety of functions, such
as judgment, comprehension, and reasoning. Binet believed that these
functions are the essential components of intelligence.
The items were arranged in ascending order of difficulty. The items
were administered to 50 normal children of 3 to 11 years of age, some mentally
retarded children, and some adults in order to determine the difficulty level of
the items. In this scale, no precise method to calculate the total score was
available.

Hence, it could be concluded that in 1905, Binet and Simongave the first intelligence
tests in psychology.

12. Answer: a

Explanation:

Learning refers to a r elatively permanent change in behavior that happens as a

result of practice/experience . Learning is the series in human behaviors as we learn
to do various activities like speak, write, think and perceive. Our attitudes and
 emotional expressions are also derived from learned behaviors. All our compatible,
as well as incompatible, cognitive as well as affective behavior, are formed by
learning processes.

Key Points

Transfer of learning is the application of knowledge gained from completing one

task to help solve a different but related , problem.

Positive transfer of learning : Positive transfer of learning is when learning on

one task does facilitate learning another. For example-
knowledge of balancing in cycling helps in learning about scooter driving.
When a pupil masters simple grammatical rules he is enabled to speak
correct English, write competently, and study other subjects in English as
well.
Once a person has learned to shoot a basketball with their right hand it is
not difficult to transfer that learning to the left hand.
Negative transfer of training: When one learning interferes with others, it is
called negative transfer of training.
Example- Left-hand drive vehicles hindering the learning of right-hand drive.
Zero transfer of learning:- When previous learning has no influence on learning
or performance in a later situation.

Hence it is clear from the above points, that the knowledge of balancing in cycling
helps in learning of scooter driving. The type of transfer of learning here is Positive
transfer.

13. Answer: b

Explanation:

Child Apperception Test: The Children's Apperception Test (CAT) was specially
designed for use between the ages of 3 and 10 years. It was developed by Leopold
Bellak and Sonya Sorel Bellak. It was an offshoot of the Thematic Appreciation Test
(TAT) which was based on Henry Murray's need-based theory of personality.
 Key Points

The original CAT featured ten pictures of animals in such human social contexts
as playing games or sleeping in a bed. Today the version is known as CAT or
the CAT-A (for animals).
The CAT cards with animal pictures are designed to evoke fantasies relating to
problems of feeling and other oral activity, sibling rivalry, aggression, and
experiences of children.
The CAT is intended to measure personality traits. attitudes, and
psychodynamic processes evident in pre-pubertal children.
By presenting a series of pictures and asking a child to describe the situations
and make up stories about the people or animals in the pictures, an examiner
can elicit this information about the child.

Hence, we can conclude that the Child Apperception Test was developed by Bellak.

14. Answer: c

Explanation:

Edward Thorndike is an American psychologist and he introduces his famous set of

principles known as Thorndike law. According to these law learning is achieved when
an individual is able to form associations between a particular stimulus and a
response.

Key Points

Thorndike presented the theory on laws of learning on basis of his belief

connectionism. These laws are originally the outgrowth of experiments in the
field of animal psychology.
He presented his theory in his book Animal intelligence in 1911.
The three major laws are:
Law of readiness - It implies that if you are not ready to learn something,
you can not learn it effectively and if you are ready to learn something,
you can learn effectively. Readiness comes from interest,, need, maturity
etc.
 Law of exercise - The second important law has two aspects. It is based on
the law of use and disuse. This law promotes revision and recall. Repeated
exercising of a response strengths it connection to the stimulus and disuse
weakens it. Later he recognized that mere blind repetition is not sufficient
for effective learning, rather knowledge of results is an essential condition
for it.
Law of effect- The meaning of the law of effect is the effect of learning.
The trails or steps leading to satisfaction stamps in the connection.
Satisfying states lead to consolidation and strengthening of connection
whereas dissatisfaction leads to the weakening or stamping out of the
connection. We want to learn the things which make us feel happy or
satisfied.

Hence, we conclude that Law of Exercise promotes revision and recall.

15. Answer: d

Explanation:

Development is a process that is associated with an overall change in a person’s

growth. It is a process where a person totally changes from dependency to
autonomy. The development includes both quantitative as well as qualitative
changes.

Key Points:-

Principles of development:-

Principle of Continuity: - Process of development starts in the mother’s womb

and continues till the last breath of the person. Development never stops. Even
after the person is matured, the development process still continues.
Principle of integration: - It denotes a combination of several smaller units into
bigger ones. For example, Child first starts to learn hand movement then finger
movement, and then learns the movement of both hand and finger together
this process is called integration.
 Principle of interaction: - Development of a person depends on the interaction
of heredity and environment.
Principle of interrelation: - Various dimensions of one’s development are
interrelated, including physical, social, and mental aspects.

Therefore, it is concluded that development is a never-ending process. This idea is

associated with the principle of continuity.

Additional Information

Other principles of Development:-

Principle of lack of uniformity in the developmental rate.

Principle of uniformity pattern.
Principle of individual differences.
Principle of interaction between heredity and environment.
Principle of predictability.
Principle of proximodistal.

16. Answer: b

Explanation:

According to Eysenck " Personality is the more or less stable and enduring
organization of a person's character, temperament, intellect and physique that
determine his unique adjustment to his environment."

Key Points

Trait theory of personality:

G.W. Allport, R.B. Cattell, and H.J. Eysenck are the chief exponents of the trait
theory of personality.
A trait is a dimension of personality that can be measured and must describe
the consistent behavior of an individual.
A trait as a dimension is conceived quantitatively as a continuous scale of
measurement from extensive positive end to the extreme negative end.
 According to the trait theory, if we confine ourselves to a few basic
characteristics which are consistent and distinctive of a human personality the
problem of describing it should become simpler.
Theorists often distinguish between the traits which are readily observed and
those which are deeper and nearer to the core personality.
One of approach to the trait theory describes the readily observable traits as a
surface traits and the deeper ones as source traits.

Hence, we can conclude that R.K. Pritchett is not one of the chief exponents of the
trait theory of personality.

background of a person.

20. Answer: a

Explanation:

Intelligence refers to the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge. It is the ability
to solve problems, learn from experiences, and apply knowledge to deal with new
situations.

There are many theories related to intelligence. These theories are propounded
by eminent psychologists to provide a framework to understand different
aspects of human intelligence.

Key Points

Three Dimensional Model of Intellect/ Structured Theory of Intelligence:

SI model of intelligence was given by J P Guilford in 1966.

In J.P. Guilford’s Structure of Intellect (SI) theory, intelligence is viewed as
comprising operations, contents, and products.
According to this theory, There are
 6 kinds of operations (cognition, memory recording, memory retention,
divergent production, convergent production, evaluation),
6 kinds of products (units, classes, relations, systems, transformations,
and implications), and
5 kinds of contents ((Figural- visual & auditory), symbolic,
semantic, behavioral).
Each of these dimensions is independent, there are theoretically 180 different
components of intelligence.
Guilford researched and developed a wide variety of psychometric tests to
measure the specific abilities predicted by SI theory.
These tests provide an operational definition of the many abilities proposed by
the theory. Furthermore, factor analysis was used to determine which tests
appeared to measure the same or different abilities.

Hence, it is clear that the system is not the component of 'Content Dimensions' of
three-dimensional intelligence theory by Guilford as it is the component of 'Product
Dimensions'.

21. Answer: a

Explanation:

Cognition is the activity of knowing the acquisition, organization, and use of

knowledge.

Key Points

The mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and understanding are

referred to as cognition.
It deals with the development of thought and knowledge. The numerous
cognitive functions include knowing, remembering, judging, and solving
problems.
All our mental abilities- perceiving, remembering, and reasoning, are organized
into a complex system, the overall functioning of which is termed cognition.
 Hence, we conclude that cognition mainly deals with the development of thought
and knowledge.

22. Answer: c

Explanation:

According to Wood worth, “Psychology is the science of activities of the individual in

relation to the environment.”

Psychology is the science of mutual interaction between an organism and its

environment.
It is the study of adjustment to the environment.

Key Points

Modern psychology is related to the study of behavior. According to Pillsbury,

"Psychology has been most satisfactorily defined as the science of human
behavior."

Wundt is traditionally recognized as the father of modern psychology.

The behavior of man is influenced or conditioned by many factors.
But behavior also manifests by itself.
It can be observed and measured.
Study of the behavior of humans through experimentation and observation.
It describes, explains, and controls behavior and mental processes.
It is the study of conscious and unconscious behavior which includes feelings
and thoughts.
It is the study of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor behavior.

Thus, it is concluded that the study of modern psychology is related to behavior.

23. Answer: d

Explanation:

Emotions play an important role in every person’s life in their day-to-day situations.
It is a way of acting toward the situations.

Child emotions may only for a few minutes and end all of a sudden.
Children of the same age may react in different ways according to the
situations they go through.
According to age emotions modifies. Emotions may become strong and weak
according to the situations they go through.

Key Points

Characteristics of Child emotions:-

 Child emotions are brief.
The intensity of emotions.
Child emotions are transitory in nature.
Emotions of children appear frequently.
The quickness of emotions.
A frequent manifestation of emotions.
The emotional response of a child is different.

Hence, it is concluded that the permanent nature of emotions is not the

characteristic of a child's emotions but the intensity of emotions, quickness of
emotions, and frequent manifestation of emotions are characteristic of emotions.

24. Answer: b

Explanation:

Psychologists have tried to assess personality in various ways. The most commonly
used techniques are Psychometric Tests, Self-Report Measures, Projective
Techniques, and Behavioural Analysis. These techniques are rooted in different
theoretical orientations; hence they throw light on different aspects of personality.

Key Points

Projective methods are the tests that are designed to reveal those central
aspects of personality that lie in the unconscious mind of an individual.
Unconscious motivations, hidden desires, inner fears, and complexes are
presumed to be elicited by their unstructured nature that affects the client’s
conscious behavior.
The assignment of a relatively unstructured task is a major distinguishing
feature of projective techniques.
Thematic Apperception Test is a projective technique of personality
measurement. This test was developed by Henry Murray.
The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) consists of 20 pictures which are all
black and white. The people depicted in the picture are deliberately drawn in
ambiguous situations.
 The story narrated by the client is interpreted by the psychologist, who tries to
look for revealing statements and projection of the client’s hidden emotions
onto the characters in the pictures.
In the original interpretation method of TAT scores, the examiner first
determines who is the “hero”, the character of either sex with whom the
respondent presumably identifies himself or herself.

Hence, Thematic Apperception Test is a projective technique of personality

measurement.

Hint

Non-projective techniques are the subjective\objective test in which an

individual responds to different questions like interviews, socio-metric
techniques, rating scales, questionnaires, observation, etc.

25. Answer: d

Explanation:

Habits can best be defined as acquired, automatic, mechanical and curative

dispositions i.e., tendencies to behave in a practical way . Habits play a very
important role in the development of a child. It may be said that all of our life, so far
as it has a definite form, is but a mass of habits – individual, social, emotional and
intellectual. Habits inspire, encourage and guide our behaviour. Social and moral
discipline, emotional and psychological development, all depend upon the habit
formation.

Key Points

Kinds of Habits-

The general classification of habits consists of two categories viz. are good
habits and bad habits.
Good habits : Good habits are those which have a good impact on
individual and society. In order to acquire good habits, it is necessary to
 have the firmness of determination.
Bad habits : Bad habits are harmful to the individual as well as society.
Bad habits are easily formed such as smoking, drinking, gambling etc
According to another classification, habits can be divided into three groups-
Bodily habits : These are walking, standing, manner of dress and other
activities involving the use of body parts.
Habits of character : These are character-building habits such as
punctuality, hospitality, cleanliness, honesty, truthfulness, cooperation,
sincerity etc.
Habits of thought : Habits of thought such as those of thinking, reasoning,
keen observation and accurate judgement.

Thus from above-mentioned points, it is clear that Neurotic, Derived

and Mechanical habits are not the types of habits.

Additional Information

Habits play the following role in the life of individuals:

Conserve energy
Socialization
Character building
Personality development
Social order and Moral discipline
Accuracy and appropriateness
Simplification of movements
Adjustment in the environment

26. Answer: b

Explanation:

Motivation is the drive to achieve something in life that satisfies one’s needs. There
are two primary types of motivation namely, intrinsic motivation and
extrinsic motivation.
 Key Points

Intrinsic motivation:

Intrinsic motivation is the motivation that is animated by personal enjoyment,

interest, or pleasure. It is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself
and exists within the individual.
It is the internal condition or factor of learning. It directs behavior that leads
to self-actualization in learning.
It is the arousal of a tendency to act and produce results. It is the drive to
achieve something in life that satisfies one’s needs.
For example, A student is working hard for Board Examination because he
enjoys doing hard work.

Extrinsic motivation:

Extrinsic motivation refers to the performance of an activity in order to attain

an outcome and comes from outside of the individual .
It refers to a behavior that is guided by earning rewards or avoiding
punishment.
Such kind of motivation creates a mindset where the learner expects to put
effort only when there is a reward at the completion of work.
For example, A student is working hard for Board Examination because his
father has promised to him a motorcycle if he gets good marks.

Hence, it is clear that Neither I nor II pair is correctly matched.

27. Answer: b

Additional Information

Educable Mentally Retarded (EMR):

The educable mentally retarded children are those who can be taught
basic academic subjects.
Trainable Mentally Retarded (TMR):
The trainable mentally retarded are those children who can be taught
functional academics with an emphasis on self-help and vocational skills.
Custodial Mentally Retarded (CMR):
The custodial mentally retarded are those children who require constant
and special care, especially in a residential institution.

28. Answer: b

Explanation:

Robert Mills Gagne, an American educational psychologist. He had written a book

named 'The Conditions of Learning'.

In this book, he has proposed a hierarchy of learning in which learning tasks

are organized in a hierarchy based on their complexity level.
This learning hierarchy is divided into eight intellectual levels or in eight types
of learning which implies the idea that:
there are different kinds of levels of learning which require different kinds
of instruction.
 an individual has to first master a lower intellectual level in order to
acquire higher intellectual level skills.

Gagne's Eight Intellectual Levels or Eight Types of Learning:

Key Points

Signal learning: The learner makes a general response to a signal.

Stimulus-response learning: The learner makes a precise response to a signal.
Chaining: The connection of a set of individual stimulus and responses in a
sequence.
Verbal association: The learner makes associations using verbal connections.
Discrimination Learning: The learner makes different responses to different
stimuli that are somewhat alike.
Concept learning: The learner develops the ability to make a generalized
response based on a class of stimuli.
Rule learning: A rule is a chain of concepts linked to demonstrated behavior.
Problem-solving: The learner discovers a combination of previously learned
rules and applies them to solve a novel situation.

Hence, it could be concluded that Gagne has placed signal learning at the lowest
position in his learning step.

29. Answer: b

Explanation:

Adolescence is the period of development between childhood and adulthood.

Key Points

Adolescence is the period of development from pubescence to adulthood.

It is the period when the child moves from dependency to autonomy.

It is a period demanding significant adjustment to the physical and social
changes which distinguish childhood behavior from adult behavior.
 Important Points

G. Stanley Hall is best known for his prodigious scholarship that shaped adolescent
themes in psychology, education, and popular culture.

According to Stanley Hall:

Adolescence is a turbulent time charged with conflict and mood swings .

The time period of transition from childhood and adolescence is of great
stress .
Adolescence fails to think clearly and it creates great frustration and stress in
their lives.

Therefore, G. Stanley Hall is known as the father of the scientific study of

adolescence.

30. Answer: c

Explanation:

The correct answer is Aspiration.

Key Points

All organisms are born with innate biological tendencies that help them
survive.
This theory suggests that instincts drive all behaviours.
Instincts are goal-directed and innate patterns of behaviour that are not the
result of learning or experience.
Also known as innate motives.
Example - Hunger, Thirst, Sleep.

Aspiration is not an innate motive.

Additional Information
 Extrinsic motivation involves completing a task or exhibiting a behaviour
because of outside causes such as avoiding punishment or receiving a
reward.
Extrinsic motives occur when an individual is driven by external influences.
These can be either rewarding (money, good grades, fame, etc.) or punishing
(threat of punishment, pain, etc.). or incentives.

46. Answer: a

Explanation:

The correct answer is 'the students to fill the form.'

Key Points

The use of the preposition 'for' before the base form of the verb 'fill' is incorrect.
The to-infinitive should be used in place of the preposition 'for'.
The to-infinitive is used in many sentence constructions, often expressing the
purpose of something or someone's opinion about something.
The to-infinitive focuses on the idea of an action or the results of an action,
rather than the action in itself.
The to-infinitive = 'to + base form of the verb (to fill).'
 Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Correct sentence: The teacher asked the students to fill the form before entering the
classroom.

Hinglish

Verb 'fill' के मूल रूप से पहले preposition 'for' का प्रयोग गलत है।
Preposition 'for' के स्थान पर to-infinitive का प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
To-infinitive का उपयोग कई वाक्य निर्माणों में किया जाता है, जो अक्सर किसी चीज़ के उद्देश्य या किसी चीज़
के बारे में किसी की राय व्यक्त करते हैं।
To-infinitive किसी क्रिया के विचार या किसी क्रिया के परिणामों पर ध्यान कें द्रित करता है, न कि अपने आप
में।
To-infinitive = 'to + base form of the verb (to fill)'

अतः सही उत्तर विकल्प 1 है।

सही वाक्य:The teacher asked the students to fill the form before entering the
classroom.

47. Answer: b

Explanation:

Correct answer: Option 2.

A non-finite verb is used to denote a verb that is not showing tense.

In simpler words, it a verb form which is not acting like a verb (or, at least, the type of
verb you need to form a sentence).

There are three types of non-finite verbs: gerunds, infinitives, and participles.

A gerund is an -ing verb that functions as a noun.

Eg: Sailing is my favorite sport.

 Infinitives are non-inflected verbs that are often preceded by to. They may function
as adverbs, nouns or adjectives.

Eg: I fail to understand your problem.

Participles are -ed and -ing verbs that function as adjectives

Eg: I am going to the store.

48. Answer: d

Explanation:

The erroneous part is 'the all world?'.

Key Points

The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.

Here, 'all of the world' should be used instead of 'the all world?'.
We know that articles are used with nouns.
In the given sentence the definite article 'the' is used before the determiner 'all'.
That is incorrect.
The definite article 'the' will be used before 'world'.
Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence:Are you excited and curious about all the world?

 The sentence that states or declares a feeling, opinion, incident, event, etc., is
called an assertive sentence . So, the given speech is an assertive one.
While changing the narration of an assertive sentence , we make the following
changes:
'Said to' is changed to 'told + object' whereas 'said' remains as it is.
The conjunction 'that' is used in place of commas and inverted commas
.
Past continuous tense changes to past perfect continuous tense .
Here, 'were sitting' changes to 'had been sitting' .

Final sentence :They told us that all the girls had been sitting in a second class
compartment.

हिन्दी

वह वाक्य जो किसी भावना, राय, घटना, घटना आदि को बताता या घोषित करता है, उसे एक assertive
sentence कहा जाता है।
एक assertive sentence का narration बदलते समय, हम निम्नलिखित परिवर्तन करते हैं:
'Said to' को 'told + object' में बदल दिया जाता है जबकि 'said' अपरिवर्तित रहता है।
Comma और inverted commas के स्थान पर 'that' का उपयोग किया जाता है।
Past continuous tense, past perfect continuous tense में बदलता है।
'Were sitting', 'had been sitting' में बदलता है।

50. Answer: a

Explanation:

The correct answer is 'along with'.

Key Points

The most appropriate word to fill in the given blank is 'along with'.
Along with: Along with meanstogether with something or someone. It is used
for mentioning additional people or things.
Example: Billal was arrested along with eleven other men.
 In the given blank, "along with"is contextually and grammatically correct as it
means how many students come together with or additional people come
with you for the programme.
All the other options don't show such meaning.
Therefore, the other options are eliminated because of this reason.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

Complete Sentence : How many students have comealong withyou for the
programme?

Additional Information

By: By is generally used to show how something is done. We also use 'by'
which means "not later than" to refer to arrangements and deadlines .
Example: I’ll send it by email.
Example: The delivery boy is always here by 11 am.
For: We use for to talk about a purpose or a reason for something . We use
"for" with a period of time in the past, present, or future .
Example: Rishabh has waited at the station for nine hours.
Till:We use from with until or till to talk about when something begins and when
it ends. It is used for time .
Example:He worked till 2'O clock.

51. Answer: c

Explanation:

The correct answer is 'The boys ate up all the biscuits.'

Key Points

The given sentence is in Passive Voice. As per the given question we have to
change it into Active Voice.
The process of transformation as follows:
The structure of the given sentence as follows:
 Subject + V2+ Object. (Active Voice)
Subject (objective case)+ was/were + V3 + Object (subjective case).
(Passive Voice)
Example:
Their cousin showed them some rare photographs. (Active Voice)
They were shown some rare photographs by their cousin. (Passive
Voice)
Here, in the given question 'was eaten' will be changed into 'ate'.
The subject will be put in place of the object and the object will be put in place
of the subject.
Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer
is Option 3.

Correct Sentence:The boys ate up all the biscuits.

By following the above steps, the correct sentence is: Radhika asked me if I could
go with her to the hospital for treatment.
55. Answer: c

Explanation:

The correct answer is 'when it comes'.

Key Points

The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.

Here, 'when it comes' should be used instead of 'when it come'.
When the noun is singular, we conjugate with comes; when the noun is plural,
we conjugate with come.
Example: Jane comes with Harry, but David and Betsy come with Linda.
In the given sentence 'Math anxiety' is a singular subject. Hence, 'comes' should
be used.
Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence:Math anxiety is a feeling of apprehension when it comes to

mathematics.

56. Answer: b

Explanation:

The correct answer is "the current situation".

Key Points

Let's look at the meaning of the given idiom/phrase .

Status quo means "the existing state of affairs (मामलों की मौजूदा स्थिति)".
We use the phrase/idiom which means to refer to something or someone
in the present situation or condition.
Example: The Act contained provisions designed to preserve the status
quo.
 Explanation: Despite the fact that the future rounds of talks continue to
disconnect and conquest and reduce those forces returning to the current
situation is now not possible.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

57. Answer: d

Explanation:

The correct answer is-'Archaeology'

Key Points

Let's look at the meaning of the marked option:

Archaeology: the study of the buildings, graves, tools, and other objects that
belonged to people who lived in the past, in order to learn about their culture
and society (इमारतों, कब्रों, औजारों और अन्य वस्तुओं का अध्ययन जो अतीत में रहने वाले लोगों से संबंधित
थे, ताकि वे अपनी संस्कृ ति और समाज के बारे में जान सकें ।)
Example: Excavating human remains is one of the most exciting parts of
archaeology.
Let's look at the meaning of the other given options:
Entomology : the scientific study of insects (कीटों का वैज्ञानिक अध्ययन)
Arachnology:a person who specializes in the study of spiders and other
arachnids (एक व्यक्ति जो मकड़ियों और अन्य अरचिन्ड के अध्ययन में माहिर है)
Etymology:the study of the origin and history of words, or a study of this type
relating to one particular word (शब्दों की उत्पत्ति और इतिहास का अध्ययन, या एक विशेष शब्द से
संबंधित इस प्रकार का अध्ययन)

Hence, from the given meanings, we find that Archaeology is the correct one-word
substitute.

58. Answer: c
Explanation:

The correct answer is ' Having finished his work, he went to play .'

Key Points

Acompound sentencehas at leasttwo independent clausesthat have related

ideas. The independent clauses can be joined by acoordinating conjunction
(for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)or by a semicolon.
Ex: I want the sporty red car ,butI will lease the practical blue one . (The
independent clauses are underlined)
Asimple sentencecontains asingle independent clause.
Ex: She opened the door .
The given sentence has two independent clauses (joined by 'and'):He finished
his work ;He went to play .
Let's discuss the given options:
Option 1) has two clauses joined by conjunction 'and' , thus it's not a
simple sentence .
Option 2) is a simple sentence , but the meaning is slightly different from
the original sentence.
Option 3) is asimple sentenceand the meaning isunchanged. ('Having
finished his work' is a perfect participle ; 'he went to play' is the
singleindependent clause)

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3).

Simple sentence: Having finished his work, he went to play.

Additional Information

An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb

and expresses a complete thought . An independent clause is a sentence.
A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb but
does not express a complete thought .
59. Answer: c

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. If served with syrup, pancakes are delicious.

Key Points

A simple sentence has only one subject and one predicate.

In the above sentence, the subject is the pancake and the predicate is the
syrup .
A compound sentence can be converted to a simple sentence by reducing the
number of clauses to a single clause .
For instance, the above sentence has two clauses: Pancakes are delicious; not
without syrup.
In the case of option 3, the sentence only has one main clause i.e. pancakes
are delicious.

Mistake Points

In case of option 1 and 2, both use subordinating conjunctions (only, when) to

synthesize the clauses.
This is characteristic of complex sentences.
The only viable option is option 3. It does not need conjunction.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

60. Answer: c

Explanation:

The correct answer is 'but also'.

Key Points
Some Conjunctions are in pairs. They are called 'Correlative Conjunctions' or
merely 'Correlatives'.
These pairs are: As ... as, So ... as, Neither ... nor, Both ... and, Either ... or, Hardly ...
when, No sooner ... than, Scarcely ... when, So ... that, Too ... to, Such ... as, Such ...
that, Though/ Although ... yet, Lest ... should, Whether ... or, Between ... and, From
... to, Both ... and, Not only ... but also, Else ... but, Other ... than, etc.
While usingnot only...butalsoin a sentence, parallelism should be the goal.
It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (i.e.,
not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of speech.
For example, if a verb follows not only, then a verb should also follow but also.
Example:
Tom is not only rich but also famous.
 Tom is not only rich also famous.

Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer
is Option 3.

Correct Sentence:Hansa is not only extremely intelligent but also very practical.

61. Answer: b

62. Answer: b

Explanation:

The logic follows here is:

The hour hand rotates 360° in 12 hours.

∴ In 1 hour the hour hand will rotate = 360/12 = 30°

 From 08:00 in the morning to 04:00 in the evening, the time spent is 8 hours.

∴ 8 × 30 = 240°

Therefore, the hour hand will move 240° when it will show 04:00 in the evening.

Hence, the correct answer is " 240 degrees" .

63. Answer: b

Explanation:

Hence, 49 is the correct answer.

66. Answer: b
Explanation:

According to the question:

Total number of students who passed the exam = rank of Amisha from top + rank of
Sajal from bottom + 4

= 22 + 34 + 4

= 60

The ratio of the students who passed in the exam to those who failed → 4 ∶ 1.

Therefore, the number of students who failed = 60 ÷ 4 × 1

= 15

Total number of students = number of students who passed + number of students

who failed.

= 60 + 15
 = 75

Hence, 75 is the correct answer.

88. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

Sita bought 10 items for ₹16 and sold 16 items to Radha for ₹10. Radha sells 10 items
Shyam for ₹16.

Formula used:

Profit (in %) = S.P −C.P

C.P
​ × 100

Where,

SP = Selling Price

CP = Cost Price

Calculation:

For Radha:

The cost price of 16 items = ₹10

The cost price of 1 item = ₹ 10

16
​

The selling price of 10 items = ₹16

The selling price of 1 item = ₹1.6

₹1.6− ₹10
The profit (in %) earned = 16
× 100 = 156%
​

₹10 ​

16 ​

∴ The profit earned by Radha is 156%.

 Shortcut Trick

A seller bought m number of items for ₹a and sell n number of items for ₹b.

Profit/ Loss (in per cent) = mb−an

an
​ × 100

Note: If the result is positive then the seller earns a profit and if the result is negative
then the seller incurs a loss.

According to the question,

The cost price of 16 items = ₹10
The selling price of 10 items = ₹16

Profit (in per cent) = 16×16−10×10

10×10
​ × 100 = 156%

∴ The profit earned by Radha is 156%.

89. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

Rate = 10%, Time = 2 years

CI - SI = 631

Formula used

(CI - SI) for 2 years = P(R/100) 2

P = Principal, R = Rate

Calculation

Using the above formula,

631 = P(10/100) 2
 ⇒ 631 = P/100

⇒ P = 63100

∴ The required sum is Rs 63100.

90. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given:

The difference between the outer circumference and the inner circumference of the
racing track is 33 m

Concept used:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Here r = radius

Calculation:

According to the question,

Let the radius of the outer circle be R and the inner circle be r

Now,

2πR - 2πr = 33
 ⇒ 2π(R - r) = 33

⇒ (R - r) = 33 × (1/2π)

⇒ (R - r) = 33 × (7/44)

⇒ (R - r) = 21/4 = 5 14 ​

So, width of the track = 5 14 m

​

∴ The width of the track (in m) is 5 14 .

​

91. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

Given expression is (2 x × 5 x)

Concept used:

(a x × b x) = (a × b) x

Calculations:

According to the question, we have

(a x × b x) = (a × b) x

⇒ (2 x × 5 x) = (2 × 5) x

⇒ (2 x × 5 x) = (10) x

Clearly, if we put any value of x, we will get a unit digit zero

So, we did not get the unit digit 5 at any value of x

∴ x will have no value.

 Hint

If we multiply 5 with any even digit number, then the unit digit will be zero.

93. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given :

First number = 115% × third number

Second number = 125% × third number

Formula Used

Percentage = (actual/total) × 100

Calculation :

Let the third number be 100

First number will be 100 + 15% of 100 = 115

Second number will be 100 + 25% of 100 = 125

Percent first is of second = (115/125) × 100 = 92%

∴ The first number as a percentage of the second number is 92%.

94. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

Two numbers "a" and "b" are given

Calculations:
 As we know, two co-prime numbers do not have any common factors except 1

Thus, if two co-prime numbers have not any common factor except 1,

then their least common factor i.e., (LCM) will be the multiple of two numbers.

∴ The least common factor of two co-prime numbers is ab.

Additional Information

The highest common factor (HCF) of two co-prime numbers is always 1.

95. Answer: a

Explanation:

4x + 5y – 6 = 0 & 16x + 20y + 20 = 0

If a 1/a 2= b 1/b 2= c 1/c 2, then many solutions

If a 1/a 2= b 1/b 2≠ c 1/c 2, then no solution

Comparing on a 1x + b 1y + c 1= 0 & a 2x + b 2y + c 2= 0

⇒ a 1= 4, b 1= 5, c 1= -6 & a 2= 16, b 2= 20, c 2= 20

⇒ 4/16 = 5/20 ≠ (-6)/20

So, there are no solution

96. Answer: d

Explanation:

Let the cost price of the radio be C.P.

Marked price = Rs. 480

 Gain percentage = 8%

Since the discount is 10% on marked price thus the Selling price

10
⇒ S.P = 480 × (1 − 100
)​

⇒ S.P = Rs. 432

Now,

8
⇒ 432 = C.P × (1 + 100
​)

⇒ C.P = Rs. 400

Now, if no discount is allowed then, gain percent

Selling price = market price = Rs. 480

And C.P = Rs. 400

Required gain percentage

80
= 400
​ × 100

= 20%

∴ If no discount is given then gain percentage would have been 20%.

97. Answer: c

Explanation:

Milk in the solution = (3/5) × 50 = 30 litres

Water in the solution = (2/5) × 50 = 20 litres

Let the water added be x litres

Total water = (x + 20) litres

 Total quantity of solution = (30 + x + 20) = (50 + x) litres

(30)/(x + 20) = 2/3

x = 25 litres

98. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of square is 56 m

Length of rectangle is double the breadth

Formula:

Perimeter of square = 4 × s

Area of square = s × s

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

Area of rectangle = l × b

Where, s = side of square, l = length of rectangle, and b = breadth of rectangle.

Calculation:

Let the side of the square be s

According to the question

Perimeter of square = 56 m

4 × s = 56 m

⇒ s = 56/4 m
 ⇒ s = 14 m

Area of square = s 2 = 14 × 14 = 196 m 2

Since,

Area of square = 2 × Area of rectangle

Area of rectangle = 196/2 = 98 m 2

As length of the rectangle = 2 × breadth

Let length = 2x & breadth = x

Area of rectangle = 98 m 2

(x) × 2x) = 98 m 2

⇒ 2x 2= 98 m 2

⇒ x 2= 98/2 m 2

⇒ x 2= 49 m 2

⇒x=7m

Length = 2 × 7 = 14m

Perimeter of the rectangle = {2 × (14 + 7)} m

Perimeter = (2 × 21) m

Perimeter = 42 m

∴ The perimeter of the rectangle is 42 m

99. Answer: a

Explanation:
 Given:
Days in a year = 365

Formula Used:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total outcomes

Calculation:

Tuesday in a regular year = 52

So, Days in a regular year = 52 × 7 = 364

⇒ 365 - 364 = 1 day

1 day is left in a regular year.

This 1 day can be any day of the week (7 days)

So,

⇒ Probability = 1/7

∴ Probability of 53 Tuesdays in a regular year = 1/7

100. Answer: b

Explanation:

Let the number of men who agreed to do the work in 20 days be x

⇒ work done by x men = 20x

Also given (x - 5) men will complete the work in 40 days

⇒ work done by (x - 5) men = 40(x - 5)

Since the work done by both are same

 ⇒ 20x = 40(x - 5)

⇒ 20x - 40x = - 200

⇒ x = 10

∴ No of men who had agreed to do the work originally = 10

101. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

The angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent angle

Concept used:

The adjacent angle of the parallelogram is supplementary angle to each other

Calculations:

Let one adjacent angle of parallelogram be x and another adjacent angle be 2x/3

The adjacent angle of the parallelogram is supplementary angle to each other

⇒ x + 2x/3 = 180º

⇒ 5x/3 = 180º

⇒ x = 108°

Another adjacent angle = 180° – 108° = 72°

Angles of the parallelogram are 72°, 108°, 72°, 108°

∴ The largest angle of the parallelogram is 108°

102. Answer: c

Explanation:

LCM of4, 5, 6 and 7 =420

Hence the number can be written in the form (420k + 3) which is divisible by 9.

For k = 1, number = (420 × 1) + 3 = 423which is divisible by 9.

Hence,423is the number which when divided by 4, 5, 6, and 7, leaves remainder 3 in

each case; but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder.

103. Answer: a

3 -2 + (-9) 3 -11
⇒ ( 13 )​ = ( 13 ) ​

⇒ 3 -11
( 13 ) =​
3
( 13
​ ) 2x + 1

Equating the powers with common base

⇒ 2x + 1 = -11
 ⇒ 2x = -12

⇒ x = -6

∴ The value of x is -6.

104. Answer: a

Explanation:

As we know,

If n = total number of sides of a regular polygon, then

Sum of interior angles of the polygon = [(n – 2) × 180]

[(n – 2) × 180] = 1260

⇒ (n – 2) = 1260/180

⇒ (n – 2) = 7

⇒n=7+2=9

As we know,

Each interior angles of the polygon = 1260/9 = 140°

Each exterior angles of the polygon = 180 – 140 = 40°

Required difference = 140° - 40° = 100°

107. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given, tax on a commodity is diminished by 15% and its consumption increases by

10%.

Let the original revenue be ‘a’.

Decrease in revenue due to decrease in tax = a – 15% of a = 0.85a

Increase in revenue due to increase in tax = 0.85a + 10% of 0.85a = 0.935a

% decrease in revenue = a−0.935a

a ​ × 100% = 6.5%

Shortcut Trick

% decrease = - x + y - (x × y)/100

% decrease = -15 + 10 -(15 × 10)/100 = - 6.5%

 Negative sign indicates decrease in percenatage

108. Answer: a

Explanation:

GIVEN:

Area of the rhombus is 330 cm 2

FORMULA USED:

Area of rhombus = 1/2 × d1 × d2

d1 and d2 are the diagonals of rhombus.

CALCULATION:

Suppose d1 = x then d2 = (x + 8)

So,

330 = 1/2 × x × (x + 8)

⇒ x 2+ 8x – 660 = 0

⇒ (x + 30) (x – 22) = 0

⇒ x = 22

∴ sum of length of diagonals = 22 + (22 + 8) = 52 cm

Concept used:

HCF is always a factor of LCM

Calculation:

Justifying option 1,

LCM = 108 and HCF = 12

Here, 108 is multiplied by 12. Hence, 12 is a factor of 108.

Option 1 is true.

Justifying option 2,

LCM = 180 and HCF = 25

Here, 180 is not multiplied by 25. Hence, 25 is not a factor of 180.

Option 2 is not true.

Justifying option 3,

LCM = 196 and HCF = 28

Here, 196 is multiplied by 28. Hence, 28 is a factor of 196.

Explanation:

Concept:

tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

sin θ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

cos θ = Base / Hypotenuse

∴ tan A = BC / AB

Calculation:

113. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

The length of a room floor exceeds its breadth by 20 m. The area of the floor
remains unaltered when the length is decreased by 10 m and the breadth is
increased by 5 m

Concept used:

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Calculation:

Let the breadth of the floor be x m.

Length = (x + 20) meter

The area of the floor = Length × Breadth

Area of the floor = (x + 20) x m 2

According to the question

Length is decreased by 10 m = (x + 20 - 10) = (x + 10) m

Breadth is increased by 5 m = (x + 5) m

⇒ (x + 10) (x + 5) = x (x + 20)

⇒ x 2 + 15x + 50 = x 2 + 20x
 ⇒ 5x = 50

⇒ x = 10 meter

Length of the floor = x + 20 = 30 m

Area of the floor = 30 × 10

∴ Area of the floor = 300 m 2

Given:

Diameter of the sphere is increased by 25%

Formula used:

Volume of a sphere(V) = 4/3(πr 3)

r = radius of the sphere

Calculation:

Let the initial radius be r

⇒ Initial V = 4/3(πr 3)

Changed radius = 1.25r

Changed V = 4/3[π(1.25r) 3] = 1.9531 × 4/3(πr 3)

Percent increase in its volume = [{1.9531 × 4/3(πr 3) - 4/3(πr 3)}/4/3(πr 3)] × 100
 ∴ Percent increase in its volume = 95.31%

117. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given:

The curved surface area of right circular cylinder = 1 / 3rd of total surface area.

Radius = 8 cm

Concept used:

Total surface area = 2 π r ( r + h )

Curved surface area = 2 π r h

Volume of cylinder = π r 2 h

The curved surface area of right circular cylinder = 1 / 3rd of total surface area.

⇒ 2 π r h = 1/3 × [ 2 π r ( r + h)]

⇒ 2/3 (2 π r h) = 2 π r 2 / 3

r=2h

h = r/2

h = 8/2 = 4 cm

Volume of cylinder = π r 2 h

⇒π×82×4

⇒ 256 π

∴ Option 1 is correct.
118. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given,

Hypotenuse of an isosceles right-angled triangle = 30 cm

Formula:

Area of the isosceles right-angled triangle = (Hypotenuse) 2/4

Calculation:

According to the question

∴ Area of the isosceles right-angled triangle = 30 2/4 = 900/4 = 225 cm 2

Alternate Solution

Let equal sides be a.

Hence,

a 2+ a 2= 30 2

⇒ 2a 2= 900

⇒ a 2= 450

Now,

Area of triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × a × a = a 2/2 = 450/2 = 225 cm 2.

119. Answer: d

Explanation:
 From the given data,

Let AB = 56 cm be a chord of circle with center O and radius OA and OB are both
equal to 53 cms in length.

Draw OP perpendicular to AB

⇒ AP = AB/2 = 56/2 = 28 cm

From ΔOPA, we know that

⇒ OA2 = AP2 + OP2

⇒ 532 = OP2 + 282

⇒ 2809 - 784 = OP2

⇒ OP2 = 2025 cm

⇒ OP = 45 cm

∴ Distance of the chord from the centre of the circle = OP = 45 cm

120. Answer: b

Explanation:
 Triangle: A triangle is a loop in which three sides are joined together. The point at
which lines are joined is called the vertex. The angle measure of a triangle is 180
degrees. The minimum criteria to construct a triangle is to have a length of two
sides and an angle between them.

Properties of Triangle:

The angle sum of a triangle is 180 degrees.

An acute angle is an angle whose measure is less than 90°
An obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90°
So, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

Hence, the minimum criteria to construct a triangle is to have a length of two sides
and an angle between them.

121. Answer: d

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is ¼ times the volume of a right circular cylinder.

The radius of sphere and cylinder are equal.

Volume of the sphere = (4/3) × π × r3

And, the volume of cylinder = π × r2 × h

Now we can write,

4
3
​ × π × r 3 = ¼ × π × r2 × h

⇒ 16 r = 3 h

⇒ h = (16/3)r

∴ The ratio of the diameter of the sphere to the height of the cylinder = 2r : (16/3)r =
6 : 16 = 3 : 8
122. Answer: c

Explanation:

Concept:

1. Orthocenter:

The point of intersection of the altitudes of the triangle.

In the case of a right angle triangle thus the point of intersection lies on one of
the vertices of the triangle.
By solving any two altitude equations, we can get the orthocenter of the
triangle.

2. Slope of line y = mx + c is 'm'

3. Condition of ⊥ line with slope m1 and m2

m1× m2 = -1

Calculation:

-6x2 +xy + y2 = 0

y2
⇒ -6 + y
x ​ + x2 ​ =0

Let, t = y/x

⇒ t2 + t - 6 = 0

⇒ t2 + 3t - 2t - 6 = 0

⇒ (t + 3)(t - 2)

⇒ t = y/x = -3, 2

Hence, two sides are

y = -3x
 y = 2x ⇒ slope m = 2

According to question, third side is

x + 2y + 3 = 0 ⇒ slope m' = -1/2

∵ m × m' = 2 × (1/2) = -1

⇒ y = 2x is perpendicular to x + 2y + 3 = 0

So, the orthocenter of the triangle is the intersection of these two lines.

By solving these two lines, we will get

x = -3/5 & y = -6/5

Hence, ( −3
5
, −6

​

Calculation:

Diagonal = BD = 30 cm

Heights, h1 = 10 cm & h2 = 14 cm

Sum of the heights of the triangles = h1 + h2 = 10 + 14 = 24 cm

1
Thus, area of quadrilateral ABCD = 2 ​ × diagonal × (sum of height of two triangles)
 = (30×24)

Given:

LCM = 15 HCF

Calculation:

Let the HCF be x

LCM be 15x

Let the another number be y

⇒ 464 + y = 435

⇒ y = 29

Now,

x × 15x = 29 × 435

⇒ x 2= 841

⇒ x = 29

LCM = 15 × x = 15 × 29 = 435

⇒ Sum of HCF and LCM = 435 + 29 = 464

⇒ Difference of numbers = 435 - 29 = 406

∴ Required ratio = 464 : 406 = 8 : 7

125. Answer: d

Explanation:

Concept:

If α and β are the two zeros of the quadratic polynomial ax 2 + bx + c, then:

ax 2 + bx + c = (x - α)(x - β) = x 2 - (α + β)x + αβ = 0

Sum of roots = α + β = −b/a

Product of roots = αβ = c/a.

Calculation:

p(x) = 3x 2 - 7(x + 1) - c

⇒ 3x 2 - 7x - 7 - c

⇒ 3x 2 - 7x - (7 + c)

Here, a = 3, b = - 7 and c = -(7 + c)

Now,

α + β = 7/3

αβ = -(7 + c) / 3

Now,

(α + 1) (β + 1) = αβ + (α + β) + 1

126. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

Point (3 , 8)

The equation of line x + 3y = 7

Concept:

Relation between Slope of line perpendicularly to each other

m 1.m 2 = -1

Coordinate of mid-point joining two points (x 1 , y 1) and (x 2, y 2) is [ (x 1 + x 2) / 2 ,

(y 1 + y 2) / 2 ]

The image will be at an equal distance from the line represented by the equation x
+ 3y = 7, here the line will act as a mirror

The image will be formed perpendicular to the line which is acting as a mirror.

Solution:

Let the line represented by the given equation x + 3y = 7 be AB and the point whose
mirror image we're going to find out be P (3 , 8)

Let Q (h , k) be the image of the point P (3 , 8)

Since Line AB is acting as a mirror.

Points P and Q will be at equal distances from line AB,

Image formed is perpendicularly to mirror

Let's say the line joining point P and Q has a mid-point let's say R be that mid-point
so PR = RQ
 Now, the mid-point of PQ will be

( , 2
h+3 k+8
2
​ ​ )

Since point R lies on AB, therefore,

( h+3
2
) + 3( k+8
​

2
)=7 ​

⇒ h + 3k = -13 ...(i)

As we know PQ is perpendicular to AB.

Therefore,

(Slope of PQ)(Slope of AB) = -1

Since, Slope of AB = (-1)/3

So, the Slope of PQ = 3

Now, PQ is line joining P (3 , 8) and Q (h , k)

Slope of PQ = 3 = ( k - 8 ) / ( h - 3 )

3h - k = 1 ...(ii)

By solving (i) and (ii) we will get

h = -1 and k = -4

Image will be at Q ( -1 , -4 )

Hence, Option 3 is correct.

127. Answer: d

Explanation:

Explanation:
 Symmetrical distribution occurs when the values of variables appear at regular
frequencies and often the mean, mode, and median all occur at the same point. If
a line were drawn dissecting the middle of the graph, it would reveal two sides that
mirror one other.

It is that type of frequency curve, for which mean = median = mode, figure (a).

Key Points

The skewed distribution is also called asymmetrical distribution. For this type
of frequency distribution mean, median and mode do not have the same
value. Skewness is + ve or — ve depending upon the location of the mode with
respect to the mean.
In a positively skewed distribution, there is a long tail on the right and the
mean is on the right of the mode (Fig. (b)).
In a negatively skewed distribution, there is a long tail on the left and the mean
is on the left of the mode (Fig. (c)).

Hence, The curves that occur for a distribution in which class frequencies go on
decreasing symmetrically on either side of the central value are called symmetrical
curves .

∠PQS = 90° (Angle made on semicircle)

In ΔROQ;

∠QRS = 35° and ∠ROP = 25°;

∠PQR is the external angle of the ΔROQ;

∠PQR = 35° + 25° = 60°

so, ∠A = 3k, ∠B = 2k and ∠C = k

Now, in ΔABC

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
 3k + 2k + k = 180°

6k = 180°

k = 30°

∠A = 3k = 90°

134. Answer: b

Explanation:

Formula used:

1. tan θ = Perpendicular/Base

2. tan θ increases with the increase of θ when θ ∈ (0, 90°)

tan 30° = 1/√3 ≈ 0.57

tan 45° = 1
tan 60° = √3 ≈ 1.732

Calculation:

In Δ ABC,

tan 60° = AB/BC = √3x/BC

⇒ √3 = √3x/BC

⇒ BC = x -----(1)

In Δ ABD

tan θ = AB/BD = √3x/(BC + x)

⇒ tan θ = √3x/2x
 ⇒ tan θ = √3/2 ≈ 0.86

Since, 0.57 < 0.86 < 1

∴ 30° < θ < 45°

135. Answer: c

Explanation:

Let the cost price of table be Rs. x

So, the cost price of chair = Rs. (500 – x)

He sells the table at a loss of 10% and the chair at a gain of 10%. He still gains Rs.10
on the whole.

Now according to the question,

[x × (90/100)] + [(500 - x) × (110/100)] – 500 = 10

⇒ 90x + (500 – x)110 = 510 × 100

⇒ 90x + 55000 – 110x = 51000

⇒ 20x = 4000

⇒ x = 4000/20

⇒ x = 200

Hence, the cost price of the chair = Rs. (500 – 200) = Rs. 300.

The perimeter of the cuboid = 23 cm

The length of the diagonal of the cuboid is 3√21 cm

Formula used

Total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh)

Diagonal of a cuboid = l 2 + b 2 + h2 ​
 (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

Calculation:

The sum of length, breadth, and height of a cuboid is 23 cm.

L + B + H = 23

Diagonal of cuboid = l 2 + b 2 + h2 ​

⇒ (3√21)2 = l2 + b2 + h2

⇒ 189 = (l + b + h)2 - 2(lb + bh + lh)

⇒ 189 = 232 - 2(lb + bh + lh)

⇒ 2(lb + bh + lh) = 529 - 189 = 340 cm2

∴ Total surface area of cuboid = 340 cm2

141. Answer: a

Explanation:

CONCEPT:

If a point C divides the line segment joining the points A (x1, y1, z1) and B (x2, y2, z2) in
the ratio m : n internally then coordinates of point C is given by:
2 +nx1 my2 +ny1 2 +nz1
( mxm+n
​ ​

, m+n , mzm+n
​
​ ​

​ )
​ ​

CALCULATION:

Here, we have to find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment
joining the point A (1, - 2, - 3) and B (3, 4, - 5) in the ratio 2 : 3 internally.

As we know that, if a point C divides the line segment joining the points A (x1, y1, z1)
and B (x2, y2, z2) in the ratio m : n internally then coordinates of point C is given by:
2 +nx1 my2 +ny1 2 +nz1
( mxm+n
​ ​

, m+n , mzm+n
​
​ ​

​ )
​ ​

​
 Here, m = 2, n = 3, x1 = 1, y1 = - 2, z1 = - 3, x2 = 3, y2 = 4 and z2 = - 5

So, the coordinates of the required point is: ( 2×3+3×1

2+3 ,
2×4+3×(−2) 2×(−5)+3×(−3)
2+3 , 2+3
​
) ​ ​

So, the coordinates of the required point is ( 95 , 25 , − 19

5
) ​ ​ ​

Hence, option A is the correct answer

143. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

The given number is 540

Concept Used:

Concept of factorization of a number

Calculation:

Here 540 = 4 × 5 × 3 × 9

4 and 9 are perfect square number but 5 and 3 appears only once

That means we have to multiple 540 by 5 × 3 = 15 to obtain the required perfect

square number

∴ The least number is 15 which need to multiply with 540 to get a perfect square
number.

144. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

One card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards

 Formula used:

P(E) = Favorable events ÷ total events

Calculation

Total red card = 13 heart + 13 diamond = 26

King = 4

N(E) = 26 + 4 – 2 = 28

Then P(E) = 28/52 = 7/13

145. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

The perimeter of a square and a rectangle is the same

Side of the square = 30 m

The length of the rectangle is twice its breadth

Formula used:

Area of square = (side) 2

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Perimeter of square = 4(side)

Perimeter of rectangle = 2( Length + Breadth )

 Calculation:

Let the breadth of the rectangle = x

According to the question,

Length of the rectangle = 2x

The perimeter of a square = perimeter of a rectangle

⇒ 4 × 30 = 2(x + 2x)

⇒ 120 = 6x

⇒ x = 20

⇒ Length = 40; Breadth = 20

∴ Area of the rectangle = 40 × 20 = 800 m 2

146. Answer: d

Explanation:

Formula used

The perimeter of circle = 2πr

Calculation

Let the radius of the circle be 'r'

⇒ Perimeter = 2πr

When the radius is increased by 50%

Radius becomes r + 50% of r

⇒ 3r/2
 New Perimeter = 2π × 3r
2
​

⇒ 3πr

Increase in Perimeter = 3πr - 2πr = πr

⇒ Increase in perimeter in % = πr
2πr
​ × 100

⇒ 50%

∴ The perimeter of the circle will increase by 50%

147. Answer: a

Explanation:

Mathematics deals with data analysis, integration of various fields of knowledge,

involves proofs, deductive and inductive reasoning, and generalizations.

Key Points

Nature of mathematics

Mathematics is a science of discovery: Mathematics gives an easy and early

opportunity to make independent discoveries. It is the discovery of
relationships and the expression of those relationships in symbolic form.
Mathematics is an intellectual game: Mathematics is mainly a matter of
puzzles, paradoxes, and problem-solving.
Mathematics involves an intuitive method: The first step in the learning of any
mathematical subject is the development of Intuition. This must come before
rules are stated or formal operations are introduced.
Mathematics has its own symbols and languages: The language for
communication of mathematical ideas is largely in terms of symbols and
words which everybody cannot understand.
Mathematics is an abstract science: Mathematical concepts are abstract in
the sense that they cannot be seen. That they cannot be seen or felt in the
physical world.
 Hence, we can conclude that mathematics is a concrete science, the statement is
wrong about the nature of mathematics.

148. Answer: d

Explanation:

Mathematics education must have to be affordable to every child and at the same
time, it needs to be enjoyable so that children can enjoy learning mathematics
instead of fearing away from it.

The mathematical learning makes a learner capable of handling abstractions

by enhancing their logical thinking so that they can use problem-solving
approaches to reach the solutions.

Key Points

Things that impact teaching-learning in Mathematics:

A mathematical teacher needs to be wise enough while selecting the level of

content or topic to be delivered to the students as algebra should not be
introduced at the primary level because it deals with abstractions and the
primary level students are not capable enough to handle them.
The errors made by the students are required to be studied and observed in
depth by the teacher to find out their possible causes. After the teacher
finds out the causes of the errors, he needs to provide the remedy to the
students to remove the errors of the students.
Also, the different ways of solving a mathematical problem should be
encouraged by a teacher to develop creative expression among the students.
For example, the perimeter of a square is four times its side, i,e., 4a where "a" is
the side of a square.
If we have to find the perimeter of a square with a side of 6cm then its
perimeter will be 4 x 6 = 24 cm.
It can also be solved in another way that is by adding all four sides of a square
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 cm as the perimeter of any closed figure is the sum of all its
sides.
 Assessing the performance of learners is also necessary to monitor the
learning of students such as to know their weaknesses, strengths, and to
further improve their learning.

Hence, it is concluded that to use "fixed or rigid ways to solve mathematical

problems" is least likely to impact teaching-learning in mathematics.

149. Answer: d

Explanation:

Mathematical Communication refers to the communication by which

learners discuss, share, analyze, and make sense of maths. It is used
to express mathematical thoughts and ideas.

Key Points

Communication in Mathematics develops the ability to organize, consolidate, and

express mathematical thinking among students .

Aims of encouraging mathematical communication in the classroom:

Enabling learners to reason logically.

Enhancing mathematical understanding.
Making learners able to assimilate mathematical terms.
Enabling learners to express mathematical thoughts and ideas.
Developing the ability to recognize the patterns of mathematical thought.
Enabling learners to use precise language while talking about mathematical
statements and using them.

Hence, it could be concluded that Mathematical communication refers to the

ability to consolidate and organize mathematical thinking.

150. Answer: d
Explanation:

A lesson plan is a teacher's guide th at includes all the activities that have to be
done while teaching a specific topic. It is a detailed and organized statement of
general and specific goals together with the specific means by which these goals
are to be attained by learners.

Daily lesson planning involves defining the objectives, selecting and arranging
the subject matter, and determining the method of procedure.
It also provides appropriate provision for the feedback and the evaluation of
the students.

Key Points

The 5 E's model of lesson planning is:

 The students are engaged in the classroom through
different learning tasks.
This learning task may be an activity, showing any
Engagement surprising event, peculiar examples, etc., where students will
phase get an opportunity to relate their previous knowledge with
the existing ideas.
In this phase, the teacher basically involves the students in
the learning process.

The students here directly involve with the phenomena

and materials through various activities in which they learn
by doing themselves.
Exploration It involves exposing the students to different experiences
Phase that develop a grounding of experiences with the
phenomenon.
The teacher act as a facilitator, providing materials and
guiding the students to focus on the activities.

The learner begins to put the abstract experience and

clarify their misconception through discussion in the
classroom.
Explanation
The teacher will explain the concept only after students
Phase
have got common experiences through collaboration.
The degree of explanation depends on the understanding
and misunderstanding of the students.

Elaboration
It provides an opportunity for students to apply their
Phase
knowledge to new situations , which may include raising
new questions and hypotheses to explore.
The teacher guides the students in applying the concepts
they have learned from the earlier three phases.
 They make connections to other related concepts and
apply their understanding to the real world around them.

It is an ongoing diagnostic process that allows a teacher to

determine the understanding of concepts and knowledge
among the learners.
Evaluation
The teacher here involves students to construct map ,
Phase
take quizzes, tests and evaluates or diagnoses the
strengths and weaknesses of the students through learning
activities.

Hence, it is concluded that the stage "Evaluate" in 5 E’s model of lesson planning
refers to constructing a concept map or taking a quiz.
